Zhu Yi's smugness was all too obvious.
She said with a hint of pride, "You really don't know how to break the snake wall? That white worm is so annoying. It just won't say a word and is sulking inside the lamp. If it weren't for the good quality of my lamp, it would have secretly grown bigger and broken through the lamp wall to escape long ago!"
“That white serpent has treasures it hasn’t handed over.” Su Linyuan felt that Zhu Yi’s use of the term “white serpent” was a bit disrespectful to snakes, but he didn’t want to correct it. If he wasn’t magnanimous, then he wasn’t talking about himself.
"It can summon the demonic snow, which must be due to a treasure. We snakes do not have the ability to change the seasons like this."
"Hmm, let's examine it again!"
In the latter half of the night, Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan changed locations to chat about everything under the sun, including romance, poetry, and songs.
Saying she was going to sleep was just an excuse; Zhu Yi had only pulled Su Linyuan away to avoid Zhu Qianying.
There's no point in arguing when you don't see eye to eye, and Zhu Yi didn't want to continue the verbal sparring with Zhu Qianying.
However, the number of zombies that returned this time is a bit strange.
"Twenty-five? Why are there still only twenty-five? Is Aunt Zombie missing?" Zhu Yi's face darkened, her heart pounding, feeling uneasy.
"What?" The zombie leader shook his head, indicating that he had been calling for his zombie niece for a long time after leaving but had not seen her.
Su Linyuan asked the zombie leader for a strand of hair and used his demon-collecting compass to search around, but the compass needle spun without any reaction.
"Someone may have set up a shielding spell." This was the first time Su Linyuan had encountered a compass malfunction.
Zhu Yi used the contract sensing, and the Brahma Lamp only vaguely pointed in one direction: the way they came.
A chill ran down her spine, and her intuition told her that something divine was breaking through the earth, like a cold, venomous snake lurking in the darkness, its tongue flicking and its dark, vertical pupils gleaming with an eerie light.
Every inch of that eerie glow seemed to be screaming for the pleasure of being full.
Zhu Yi didn't have time to interrogate the snow snake to find out if it had any secret treasures. Instead, she took out the dog hair that Jinbao had brought and lit it to track it. Sure enough, Zhu Qianying's figure appeared in the smoke display.
"We need to hurry, she's holding the inner core of a demonic serpent!" Su Linyuan had a sharp eye and immediately recognized what those ten dangerous beads were.
In the light and shadow, Zhu Qianying forcefully shoved the dark purple inner core in her hand into Shangguan Wenqi's body from behind. Shangguan Wenqi turned his head and looked at Zhu Qianying behind him in disbelief. He couldn't see the expression of the person under the veil and didn't know why Zhu Qianying was treating him like this.
"Why?" Each word was incredibly difficult to utter.
Zhu Qianying's eyes remained expressionless: "You're utterly useless. Since you can't help me find the Buddha Fire, then be my obedient servant, except for that bitch!"
With a heavy push, Shangguan Wenqi was pushed next to the zombie aunt.
Zhu Qianying took out a magical artifact of unknown origin and set up a spatial array. Although its effects were not as good as the Bodhi Mirror she had used before, it was still a rare spatial magical artifact.
"I knew she wasn't that kind-hearted. What is she trying to do? Is she using Shangguan Wenqi to frame me?" Zhu Yi gritted her teeth. This Zhu Qianying never does anything productive and just stirs up trouble, as if she's afraid everyone will have a peaceful time!
"This little bug looks familiar, Yi'er, can you take a look and see if it's the same as yours?"
"Damn it! They're truly vicious and incorrigible!" Zhu Yi cursed. "The Heart-Eating Poisonous Insect can be used to refine living people into Asura Puppets, creating a perfect killing machine. More importantly, once this puppet is successfully refined, the entire cultivation world will be helpless against it!"
In her past life's dream, Zhu Yi vividly recalled the agony of being turned into a Shura puppet. Zhu Qianying, who was mentally unstable, felt that the whole world owed her something, and even killed her own companions!
What exactly happened in this life and the next?
Unfortunately, Zhu Yi didn't know much about her past life's dream. She only had one dream, which was far less than what Little Zhu Yi and Jiang Lin knew in the spirit world.
Whether Zhu Qianying used the Heart-Eating Poisonous Insect to kill Shangguan Wenqi in her past life, Zhu Yi doesn't know, but Zhu Yi is certain that the Zhu Yi of her past life was not as difficult to deal with as the Zhu Yi of now.
At least, Zhu Yi doesn't consider herself weak. In fact, she was extra careful when facing Zhu Qianying's problem, precisely because of the blessing of the dream.
"Su Linyuan, do you believe in reincarnation?" Zhu Yi raised her head and asked steadily.
"Believe me, silly girl. Isn't the reason we strive to cultivate immortality so that we can transcend the cycle of reincarnation?"
"No, even if we ascend to the Spirit Realm, we will still be subject to the rules of Heaven and follow the cycle of reincarnation in our world."
Zhu Yi held Su Linyuan's large hand with utmost seriousness, feeling a warmth in her heart. "Perhaps our meeting was a preordained reunion. This time, I will not let anyone hurt me or us again."
Although Su Linyuan didn't understand Zhu Yi's implied meaning, he knew that the girl in front of him seemed to have made some important decision, all in all but also feeling timid.
